Think of it as a running gag [00:21] Scarecrow's main goal here is to kind of, you know, [00:24] sort of intoxicate a city and make sure that everyone's [00:27] under this fear element and to show Batman what that [00:30] means. All that remains is for you to watch [00:34] as I drag your beloved Gotham. Into [00:40] oblivion. So, Scarecrow's, kind of orchestrating, this [00:42] fear toxin attack on Gotham City. Arkham Knight is [00:45] helping him do that, but he's got his own agenda. No [00:47] more hope. No more Batman. [00:54] So, Arkham Knight is a brand- new character in the DC [00:56] Universe. He's bringing with him the militia. He's got [00:59] troops, he's got tanks drone tanks, he's got unmanned [01:03] aerial drones. I mean he's fully kitted out, so he's a [01:06] formidable challenge to, to Batman. And yeah, this is [01:09] the final conclusion. This is the epic end to the trilogy. [01:11] Big events. We've got the Batmobile in there, adding its [01:14] own element of the gam eplay. It's something [01:20] that we've wanted to do for a long time, but we haven't [01:21] really had the, sort of horsepower to do that, to do it [01:25] justice. Arkham Asylum was all about being the world's [01:28] greatest detective. Akrham City was taking that [01:32] experience from that intimate asylum setting. Into the [01:36] open world of Arkham City. And the piece of the [01:39] puzzle that was missing is, the Batmobile, and now [01:42] we've got that. So introducing such a beast or [01:45] character like the Batmobile, wasn't, easy for us. Like, [01:47] it's been about, a good two and a half years, kind of [01:49] working on that, day in and day out. And the guys [01:51] again, still are just like cracking on, and trying to finish [01:54] that off. Two modes you would have seen, you've got [01:55] pursuit mode, tearing up the asphalt, rip around [01:57] corners, chasing down villains. And then we've got [01:59] battle mode, which allows you. To take out those [02:01] enemies. You would have seen the drones, the tank, [02:03] drone tanks, go out unmanned, and Batman can take [02:07] them out with a range of weapons. We've got Vulcan [02:10] cannon, then we've got the heavy cannon, and then [02:12] we've got the riot suppressor to take out armed [02:13] enemies on foot. [ MUSIC ] So we've built [02:18] the entirety of Gotham City, and for players. To, to [02:20] utilize as their play ground. It's about five times larger [02:24] than Arkham City, about 20 times larger than Arkham [02:27] Asylum, so it's a massive next gen, beautifully detailed [02:31] world for players to explore, but we fill the city with [02:34] loads of content and loads of stuff to do. There's no [02:37] point building this huge world and there's nothing in it, [02:40] so. Being there from the start, it has been like a [02:42] journey. Like we never would imagine that we'd be [02:44] standing with the Batmobile. Four side Batmobile, just [02:47] outside. And yet, this is the final conclusion. This is the [02:49] epic end to the trilogy. The guys back in the office in [02:52] London are very busy kind of cracking on Trudum, [02:55] finish the game, and make it as high, you know, as [02:57] high quality as we possibly can. That's why obviously [02:59] we delayed it until 2015 working with this young one [03:02] on that one. But yeah, this is the end. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"E3 Interview: Batman Arkham Knight","description":"E3 Interview: Batman Arkham Knight","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/KSnLjqAW/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-06-11T17:56:40.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/KSnLjqAW.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/KSnLjqAW/","duration":"PT3M8S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/KSnLjqAW/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
